Independently Owned Dealerships

Most John Deere dealerships are independently owned and are not company stores or franchises. John Deere equipment is sold to distributors, dealers, and associated companies for resale around the world.

The sale of a John Deere dealership is privately negotiated between the current owner and the prospective buyer. However, dealers do have a contract with either Deere & Company (for agricultural and commercial & consumer equipment dealerships) or John Deere Construction & Forestry Division (for construction and forestry equipment dealerships) to sell its products. Therefore, the issuance of a dealer contract is subject to approval by John Deere. This ensures that the prospective buyer will have sufficient resources and will adequately represent the John Deere brand and product in the marketplace.
